Dependencies

This library requires Opus to be installed. ffmpeg functions also require FFmpeg to be installed.

Building Source Dist

If you are not on windows, macos, or linux x86_64 or need to use a version of python different than 3.8-3.10 you will need to build the source dist. The only change to the installation process is that Rust will need to be installed before installing from pip.

Playing a Song

Once you are connected to a channel, playing music is extremely easy.

from songbird import ytdl

# `voice` was created from a connection to the gateway.

track_handle = await voice.play_source(await ytdl("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r25MAkzkTF4"))

await sleep(5)
# Doesn't need to be awaited!
track_handle.pause()
await sleep(5)
track_handle.play()

Supported Libraries

Hikari and Pincer are currently the only supported libraries. See the examples directory for more information.

Using with your own Gateway

from asyncio import run
from songbird import Driver

async def main():
    voice = await Driver.create()
    # `server` is the server payload from the gateway.
    # `state` is the voice state payload from the gateway.
    await voice.connect(
        token=server.token,
        endpoint=server.endpoint,
        session_id=state.session_id,
        guild_id=server.guild_id,
        channel_id=state.channel_id,
        user_id=state.user_id
    )

run(main())
